My invention relates to a carving brace r an implement adapted to be used in the place of an ordinary standard form ofcarving fork. Its object being especially adapted to maintain steady, and to evade twistingV or turning, meat and the like edibles when carving, particularly when the meat is in the -form of a roast.

The method of using the device is similar loto that of an ordinary fork, with the eX! ception that the Contact with the -meat is more or less by pressure, than by,insertion In the drawings I show a perspective view 'of the device.

Lilie letters of reference refer to like parts throughout the drawings.

The brace comprises a flat pressure or contact plate A, in size, convenient to engage over a considerable portion of the meat to be carved, and adapted to be firmly pressed down thereon, to prevent the meat from turning or twisting, when being carved. i

B designates an operating handle extending upwardly at an angle, and slightly rearwardly from the back edge of the plate A, to facilitate in 'convenient manipulation, both as to pressing against the meat, and to prevent displacing when carving.A

Formed along` and depending back edge of the plate A are a seriesA of teeth or tines C, adapted to embed into the meat when pressure is appliedby the handle B. The embedding of the tines C prevents in preventing the meat from twisting or slipping, when being carved.

Ihe plate A may be embossed or perfo- The handle B may be permanently 'soldered to the plate A, or may be detachably l from` the i all shipping and 'displacement andV also vaids rated in any ornamental manner, to improve'V Renewed What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A carving brace comprising a fiat pressure plate adapted to engage over the meat, an operating handle formed with the said plate and extending upwardly and rear-k wardly therefrom, a series of tines formed with the rear edge of the said plate and depending therefrom, the said plate adapted to be pr'essed down against the meat and 'embed said tines therein to preventV slipping or displacing ing the meat described.
